    Don’t let any of that bad-mouthing of the control scheme deter you from buying one of the best PSP sports games available today.

    The controls do take a little to get used to but once you have mastered the controls then you are in for a treat.

    An adequate port of an outstanding console game.

    The Rival Challenge mode is a blast, and it's perfect for blowing off a little steam and killing time in the process.
  7. GameSpy

    For those willing to endure the poorly-translated control scheme, the career mode is rather well done, as are the Rival Challenges, which really lend themselves to the short burst gameplay that's crucial to handheld.

    a must have if you like fighting non button mashers. i noticed the controls were easier to master and the frame rate was satisfying. Graphics a must have if you like fighting non button mashers. i noticed the controls were easier to master and the frame rate was satisfying. Graphics seemed to pop out nicely and the boxers looked great! boxer lineup could have been better. i enjoy the feel of the punches and haymakers. hate to admit it but this game's staying in my psp drive. i actually like not having to use the dual analog that way i can concentrate on timing my jukes and blocks for counter punches. a perfect psp addition because of the pick up and play feel. response is pretty good sice it seems faster pace than it's older brother.even if your not a boxing fan ....heck who isn't a boxing fan?if you're a fight night gamer always on the go, this a great addition to your psp hardware!… Expand

Awesome graphics, great interface! From your trainer yelling to your cutman helping you do battle the next round from your own honey of an entoruage who helps recover from knockdowns this game is very detailed. Only drawback is when fight ends in a TKO the game freezes and then a wide shot of the ref stepping in is not very smooth and my hands are sore from playing the game so much.… Expand

    The game is decent but for not along time
    It's career mode is addictive until you become the champion then it slowly becomes below average    The game is decent but for not along time
    It's career mode is addictive until you become the champion then it slowly becomes below average game because of its lack of variation that really makes this game an addictive game but for a short time game
